Our aromatic superstar, along with our Fronton Négrette, the Lacrima fruit has reached the point where it supports the rest of the wine, instead of overpowering it. With a few minutes of air, the blackberry/violet/savory lavender perfume still tickles the nose and complements the balanced, both in tannins and acid, wine underneath. In a wonderful drinking spot right now...

After a little bottle funk blew off, this wine was a smooth interesting balanced mix of pronounced dark blueberry, sweat, savory, and earthy spice. Different but very nice. Medium/short finish.
I would say based on the smooth dry tannins that its reached peak maturity and can/should be enjoyed at any point over the next few years.

Finally the floral is in check. Dark and inky. Dry tannins.
